Chapter 173

Shunning Palace.

Warm lights are burning.

After lunch, Doctor Yang came and took Qu Dubian's pulse.

However, his conclusion is similar to Yang Chonghua's. The meridians cannot be treated, one cannot stand for long periods of time, cannot be tired, and must rely on a wheelchair to walk. The only way to relieve the symptoms is to find ways to do so.

But there are ways to treat the eyes. After all, it was he who taught the acupuncture method of sphenoid sinus stimulation to block the sense of smell.

However, the treatment effect is slow, and it may take several years before we can see some light.

He spoke very carefully, fearing to irritate Qu Dubian, but after hearing what Qu Dubian said, he just asked him to go back and report the truth to Emperor Chongzhao.

It took Imperial Doctor Yang half an hour to diagnose him before he left.

When leaving Shunning Palace, I looked back.

He has been in the Imperial Medical Bureau for his entire life, from an ordinary imperial physician to the director of the hospital, curing diseases and saving lives, developing prescriptions. Many standard or strange diseases were provided by the Seventh Prince alone.

Although it was painful, I was always amused and confused by his strange curiosity and little actions during the treatment of this child.

This time it's different.

Doctor Yang: "Alas..."

The doctor who was carrying the box whispered to him, "It's a pity, Seventh Prince. I hope your medicine will take effect soon."

Doctor Yang: "If I knew this, I would not have taught him the method of acupuncture with silver needles."

But if there is no such solution, the border of the Great Zhou would probably still be in the midst of war.

-

Qu Dubian's cottage in Shunning Palace has been preserved.

The door of the hut was now closed.

Qu Watanabe was questioned by Concubine Xuan: "The letter you asked Zhiyi to deliver only said six words, 'Nothing, no need to worry', and told me to open it when I should."

"When I heard the bad news at the border, I knew it would be this time, but Xiao Qi, you are now..."

Concubine Xuan pulled his sleeve and turned him around, looking him up and down, frowning: "No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like he's alright."

She was actually mentally prepared, otherwise she would rather quarrel with Emperor Chongzhao than rush to the palace gate.

I just saw the child I raised come back, and I couldn't control my emotions.

The same goes for Zhiyi and Concubine Guo.

"Dr. Yang's diagnosis is always right," said Lady Guo, and she wanted to cry again. "Child, don't lie to us and only report good news and not bad news."

She lived in Shunning Palace all her life and raised two children with Concubine Xuan.

I just hope that both of them can be safe and sound, but the journey they go through is more bumpy than the other.

"It's a little unexpected, but overall it's okay. You see."

Qu Dubian took off his blindfold and walked around the room, pointing and naming objects that were easy to recognize as he walked, and finally performed a set of Tai Chi.

Concubine Xuan could see that although she had no internal energy and her strength was much weaker, it was definitely not the same as what Doctor Yang had described, that she could not use force or stand for long.

Qu Duanbian finished his work, "Are you relieved now?"

Concubine Xuan stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "But what about your eyes..."

Dull and without focus, the eyes look like a blind person.

Qu Watanabe: "It's a special method, as I said before." To make it more realistic, he added, "It also has side effects, which is that you will temporarily become 'short-sighted' and then feel cold."

Short-sightedness is the modern equivalent of myopia.

Zhiyi: "It looks just like the real thing, but Xiaoqi, when will you recover? You're going back to the capital like this, is there something wrong?"

Qu Watanabe: "Yes, but I can't tell you for now, because I haven't investigated it clearly. I will tell you everything after everything is settled."

"Besides us, who else knows about this?" Concubine Xuan frowned and said, "You shouldn't have revealed so much to us. If one more person knows, won't you be in more danger?"

Qu Watanabe shook his head.

He is not a fool and he knows his limits.

He did not reveal anything about the other mixed forces, the issues of standing in line, and the officials in the court, such as Zhennan Pass where his uncle was, Dongchang where Xiaochun was, Xia Fuyang who had guessed half of it, and Xi Zixing.

Moreover, his current situation is not actually fake and cannot be considered as deceiving the emperor.

Zhiyi: "Xiaoqi, then don't leave today. Stay in Shunning Palace and have a good talk with Empress Xuan. If you leave tomorrow, I will leave the palace with you."

Qu Watanabe nodded: "Okay."

He covered the woman with the black silk again.

Shunning Palace is stable, as are grandma and Xiaoyuan.

-

Qu Dubian stayed in Shunning Palace for one night, and left the palace with Zhiyi the next day.

He did not return to the Prince's Palace, but took Yidianbai and his wife Jinlai to the Marquis Chijian's Palace.

Originally, he thought that Dianbai was already eight years old and a bit old, so it would be better for him to stay in the palace or in his elder sister Princess's house. However, this dog clung to him like crazy and refused to stay no matter what.

He even dragged his wife out with it.

well.

Qu Dubian was holding two dog leashes in his hands, sitting in the wheelchair quite leisurely, and said with regret: "Dian Yi Bai, Yi Yi Bai, you and Jin Lai are an old man and a young wife, and you don't know how to love her."

Jin Lai is only six years old.

Yi Twelve was pushing the cart for him from behind, and a smile flashed in his eyes when he heard this.

Then he looked up: "Your Highness, we're here."

When Qu Dubian came this time, he sent someone to inform us in advance.

At the gate of the mansion, Ye Xiaoyuan supported Wu Siwan, and the old lady stood on tiptoe and looked at them from a distance.

B12: "The old lady and Xiaoyuan are both at the door."

Qu Duanbian greeted from a distance: "Grandma! Banban!"

Wu Siwan hurried down the stairs and trotted over, "Little darling!"

Ye Xiaoyuan: "Your Highness."

Yi Twelve glanced around and reminded softly: "Someone is watching this side, let's talk after we enter the mansion."

Qu Dubian, Wu Siwan and Ye Xiaoyuan's expressions did not change at all. Wu Siwan even wiped his eyes with a handkerchief in a pitiful tone, "Let's go, don't let my little darling get cold outside, let's go back to the mansion first."

Ye Xiaoyuan also waved his hand: "Put the slabs on the steps, don't let His Highness come down and stand there."

The servants in the mansion put up the stone slab, and Yi Twelve pushed him up and into the mansion.

Squeak.

The door is closed.

After entering the inner room, Wu Siwan with red eyes ordered the others not to come over, as she wanted to talk to her grandson properly.

After everyone was cleared out, Wu Siwan said, "The guards in the mansion are all veterans from the battlefield, and there is usually no one watching over them."

Ye Xiaoyuan: "That was directed at His Highness."

Qu Watanabe: "Did you feel the direction just now?"

"It's not accurate," Yi Twelve said, "but there should be no malicious intent. I'll have someone check it out."

Qu Dubian put this matter aside for the time being.

As expected, Wu Siwan also asked about the contents of his letter, and Qu Dubian repeated to his grandmother and Xiaoyuan what he had said in Shunning Palace.

After he finished speaking, he changed the subject and told grandma about grandpa's current situation, not noticing that Yi Twelve pulled Ye Xiaoyuan out.

They stood outside the window.

Yi Twelve complained seriously: "He lied."

Ye Xiaoyuan's heartbeat stopped for a moment, and he covered his chest: "...Master Liuliu."

B Twelve: "Your Highness' words are half true and half false. His body may be fine, but his eyes are problematic." He told the whole story in detail.

There was no need to worry about anything else when filing a complaint. He particularly emphasized that Qu Watanabe overturned the car after waking up and tried to cover up the incident.

"I can't say anything about him. The old lady is old, but Xiaoyuan, you can."

He saw himself as His Highness' subordinate, and some things were hard to say, so he could only endure them. However, Ye Xiaoyuan had taken care of His Highness since he was a child, and was half a relative, so he had every right to nag.

Ye Xiaoyuan's face went from pale at first, to relaxed later, to worried, and finally as gloomy as water.

Wu Siwan happened to push open the window from the inside and exclaimed, "Why are you two standing outside? It's warm inside. Come in and listen to Xiaoguai telling you about interesting things in Northern Xinjiang."

Ye Xiaoyuan: "It's okay, old lady, let's take a breath."

The cold wind blew in from the window. Qu Dubian was sitting by the stove roasting oranges. He was clearly not cold, but he shivered for no apparent reason.

I subconsciously glanced at the window.

The simulator marked Ye Banban's doll with three abstract flames on its head as a friendly mark. Liu Liu folded his arms and retreated silently.

Qu Watanabe: “…”

Wu Siwan looked out the window, then looked inside the window.

"What?"

Qu Watanabe lowered his head and said, "This orange tastes really good after being roasted."

Outside the house.

A piece of black clothing left from near the sword-wielding marquis's mansion.

As he walked, he took off his hat.

The face was exposed to the sunlight, and it was Wen Xiaochun.

There is nothing more powerful than seeing it with your own eyes.

The battle report clearly stated that the Seventh Prince was injured during a fight on the battlefield, and what the Seventh Prince said after returning also confirmed this.

No one questioned it.

But he didn't believe it.

Before, Cui Rong went to the border to take his daughter back to his ancestral home to retire. It was normal for him to say goodbye to the things in the capital and never appear again.

But some time ago, he and Chen Jian cleaned out the few remaining spies and connections of Cui Rong in the East Factory. A few people couldn't bear it and went to Shanming Pass to find Cui Rong, but they didn't find him in Cui Rong's ancestral home.

He originally thought that Cui Rong had moved, but now he thought about it...

Something is wrong.

-

night.

A light snowfall like mist began to fall again.

Qu Dubian was pressed on a small stool by Ye Xiaoyuan and was scolded for a full hour. He used normal attacks when he was gentle and reasonable, weak attacks when he was serious and reasonable, and explosive attacks when he was gentle and tearful.

A little white and gold came to accompany him, lying beside him with droopy heads.

Yi Twelve leaned against the door, listening to Ye Xiaoyuan's lecture and the listless response from his own prince. The emotions that he had been holding back along the way finally dissipated a little.

He moved his ears and heard heavy footsteps coming from the house, and then he jumped lightly onto the roof.

squeak--

Qu Dubian came out of the house holding the dog.

After coming out, he wiped the small snowflakes on the wooden chair in the corridor with a little white wipe in the eyes of Gouzi who couldn't believe it. After wiping them dry, he sat down on it.

A little white: "Wangwangwang!"

Qu Dubian pinched its mouth and said, "Don't disturb grandma's rest. Just be quiet."

Yi Twelve looked down quietly.

Qu Duanbian had already let go of the dog and said angrily, "Liu Liu..."

Yi Twelve retracted his head.

Qu Dubian took a deep breath, and Ye Banban's muttering voice, which was like a devilish voice piercing his ears, became a little quieter.

Ye Xiaoyuan was making the bed in the inner room. Qu Dubian sat under the eaves for a while, then felt cold again, so he got up and walked around the small courtyard.

Liuliu deployed surveillance personnel around the other princes' palaces.

Tang Yisu, who should have returned to his original post, is now staying in a county town near the capital.

What does he want to do.

Who will you contact?

If his intuition is correct, the capital city is going to be in chaos.

-

late at night.

The snow has stopped.

There is a light layer of snow on the ground.

The night watchman, hunched over, holding a lantern, struck the gong: "It's the fourth watch of the first hour, the weather is freezing cold—"

Boom!

"It's the fourth hour of the first month, the weather is freezing cold—"

As he shouted, cold air wafted out of his mouth. He lowered his head and rubbed his hands. When he looked up again, he saw yellow paper money flying all over the sky.

The night watchman was shocked to see the paper money scattered all over the place. He reached out and grabbed one to take a look.

It clearly reads:

[The seventh prince, Prince Yong, conquered the northern border and captured the king. He was seriously injured and blinded because of a traitor who framed him. The traitor was a member of the royal family.]

Ominous paper money was flying all over the city, and some even floated directly into the courtyard.

The news spread throughout the capital in one day.
